The tuna melt is a classic American sandwich that has been enjoyed for generations. It is typically made with tuna salad, cheese, and bread. In this recipe, we have taken the classic tuna melt and given it a healthy and delicious twist by using avocados instead of bread. Avocados are a good source of healthy fats, fiber, and vitamins. They are also a versatile fruit that can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. In this recipe, the avocados provide a creamy and flavorful base for the tuna melt. The tuna mixture is made with canned tuna, mayonnaise, red onion, celery, and cheddar cheese. The tuna mixture is then spooned into the avocado halves and baked until the cheese is melted and bubbly. The result is a delicious and satisfying meal that is also good for you.
